Less than a year after writing a well-received memoir, Diane Keaton will follow it up with another book. Ms. Keaton, the Oscar-winning actress, is working on a book about ''beauty, aging and being a woman,'' her publisher, Random House, said on Monday.

''We're all obsessed with beauty, no matter who you are,'' Ms. Keaton said in a statement. ''I think most women are a little disappointed when they look in the mirror -- I know I am -- and this book is my way of asking why.''

The new book, which is not yet titled, will be released by the Random House Publishing Group in fall 2013. ''Then Again,'' Ms. Keaton's 2011 memoir, was named one of the 10 best books of the year for gift-giving by Janet Maslin, a critic for The New York Times.

This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.
